Price check on used 45-70
« on: August 28, 2008, 04:53:10 PM »
I  saw an excellent used  Handi-Rifle in 45-70 with a blued 22 inch barrel for sale today in a gun shop for $245.  It has a mounted  vintage Weaver K-3 scope with 20mm objective and plain crosshairs. Also has iron sights. The gun is a consignment and the price is firm.  How is this price? About right, high or low? I was thinking about buying an accessory barrel for one of my current rifles but am afraid the wait wiill be long.

New Handis with pallet wood is about the same price here in Montana, but the K-3 Weavers are selling for $60-$70 at the gun shows around here.  Don't know why except for the demand for them.  I bought 3 of the new K-2.5s for $90 each from Natchez before they ran out of them.  Guess it would depend on how well you like the scope/ring setup on it and the shape of the wood, ect.  DP
